U.S. Government report on 35 terrorist-related Muslim 'compounds' in America
Thursday, 02 September 2010 17:17

This government report concerning the Muslims of America-connected group Jamaat
ul-Fuqra is from 2005, but critics point out that the compounds are still
thriving, even though several members have been arrested over the past couple of
decades. The map on the right shows known Jamaat ul-Fuqra terrorist acts in the
United States during the 1980s and 90s. Despite this wide variety of crimes
extending back many years, the government, media and "neighbors" are downplaying
the danger of this group continuing to operate on U.S. shores.
The central focus of the
report is a detailed study of cases investigated and prosecuted in Colorado that
involve members of a terrorist group known as Jamaat Ul Fuqra. (Fuqra). A
substantial component of these cases is a worker’s compensation scheme that
involved not only fraudulent insurance claims but also identification fraud,
money laundering, and tax evasion....
A state-level perspective is
provided through an analysis of criminal cases brought in Colorado against
members of a known terrorist group, Jamaat Ul Fuqra. (Fuqra). Investigation in
these cases began at the state level in the 1990s, when local police in Colorado
found evidence of criminal activity by members of Fuqra, including documentation
of a worker’s compensation scheme involving fraudulent insurance claims,
identification fraud, money laundering, and tax evasion....
For example, terrorist
suspects Ahmad Ajaj and Ramzi Yousef collected materials such as photographs,
identification cards, bank records, and education records to create the false
identities, which they later used to travel to the United States. Other WCCs
[White Collar Crimes], such as identity theft, insurance fraud, and credit card
fraud, have been used to fund terrorist activities....
Another source of terrorist
funding, which is discussed less often in the literature, is intellectual
property (IP) crime.... The illegal sale of counterfeited goods and illegal use
of IP to commit other crimes, such as stock manipulation, have been used to
support terrorist activities....
In the mid-1990’s the
Colorado Attorney General’s Office, successfully prosecuted members of a
fundamentalist Islamic sect known as Jamaat Ul Fuqra (Fuqra). In addition to
being accused of acts of domestic terrorism, Fuqra members were charged with
various WCCs, including committing insurance fraud in a worker’s compensation
scheme that spanned a period of more than seven years....
The Fuqra group was first
organized in Pakistan by Sheikh Mubarik Ali Jilani Hasmi (Jilani), who also
established a United States Fuqra organization in 1980. The followers of Jilani
reportedly believe that their leader can perform miracles and exhibit
unquestioning respect and obedience. Most, though not all, of the members of
Fuqra are African-American, U.S. citizens who have adopted extremist beliefs and
live in communal environments, or “Jamaats.” It is believed that over
thirty-five (35) Jamaats have existed in the U.S. since 1980, in addition to
more than a dozen “covert training compounds” in Colorado, Texas, New York,
Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, California,
Oregon, Washington, Maryland, Alabama, Oklahoma, Virginia, and Tennessee (see Map of Selected Fuqra
Activities)....
Over the past few decades, it
is believed that the U.S. Fuqra has been preparing for and engaging in a holy
war (Jihad) against individuals and groups they perceive to be their enemy.
These enemies include Israel, the Nation of Islam, Hindus, Ansar Muslims, East
Indians, Jews, the Jewish Defense League, Hare Krishnas, Buddists, and the U.S.
government. Since the formation of Fuqra in the U.S., it is suspected that Fuqra
members and associates have been involved in at least thirteen murders and
sixteen bombings. (See Appendix B for a partial listing.)
The first investigation of
Fuqra was initiated by the FBI in 1983, in response to a killing and double
firebombing in Detroit, Michigan, directed at the Ahmadiyya Movement in
Islam....
Members of the Fuqra group
have raised money by taking advantage of a variety of social services programs,
including worker’s compensation, public health care, welfare, and food stamps
programs. Other crimes committed by Fuqra members include the creation and use
of false identification cards, birth certificates, and other forged
documents...
